Axle nut torque spec? 1998 Accord

Does anybody have the torque spec for the large 36mm nuts on the end of the CV shaft? Can't seem to find it anywhere, and the search function isn't working for me for some reason. Thx.

I know the crank pulley bolt is 181 ft. lb., I think the axle nut is around the 130-150 lb. ft. area.

I was going to guess in the 130# area. I just did a Silverado, and that was 155#. 200 seems steep.

My service manual says 181ft.lbs. You're talking about the spindle nut, where you use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the shaft, right?
